‘The Sheep Rise Up’ ??

Do any of you actually *read* science fiction? *
You know, stories where computers and machines displace the majority of the population as the work force.
And the bulk of people live minimalist lives, distracted by video based ‘entertainments’. Packed into the most basic accommodations, with minimal food and other physical needs. All provided by ‘the State’.
Which all has to be funded by massively high taxes, paid by the overpowered corporate world, and those remaining few that actually still have ‘knowledge’ jobs.

It what is actually developing right this very instant in the West.
The United States of America is driving the Free World into exactly this version of the future. A future well illustrated by conditions in the former East Block nations and Russia of the 1970’s and 80’s. (Which that same rich and fat nation used to scorn.) 

And this is where the wheels fall off - Government has to be supported by funding.
If you shove everyone into low economic status (AI created layoffs, against massive increases in food, housing and fuel costs) the money has to come from somewhere. You can’t get blood from a stone.

How long before stones are raised and thrown at the glass windows of those ivory towers?

Note the  story setting date.

Filmed in 1973. Based on the 1966 novel 'Make Room! Make Room!' by Harry Harrison.

* This aimed (partially) at people who slavishly read a ‘book’ composed of many separate stories written over a roughly 1000 year span by entirely different authors - staring 3400 years ago (Old Testament). And think this somehow predicts events in our future? This is fiction - without any science.
